Let's end the stupid arguement of who's 12 and who isn't. As if it actually matters, both of you know how old you actually are and what the truth is.Mikazukinoyaiba

I'm sorry about that and have edited my post to reflect that. I knew he was a little kid but he was so funny I could not help myself and got a little carried away.

You know the ps3 cost $600 but you pay one price for everything and move on but the 360

1. $400

2. $100 for wi-fi

Now ms is try to sell the 120 gig for $199 jus t use the 720p videos it knew would fill up the 20 gig you already have = $700 !!

You can add another $200 if you want a hd-dvd player = $900 outch !!

With the ps3 yo can swap out the 60 gig with any serial 2.5 drive for even more space for alot less than what ms is currently selling the 20 gig for $99 !!

Also with the ps3 you get hdmi as standard but with the 360 you must buy the new model so when the new hd-dvd movies enforce the flag blocking digital 720p on analog cables or you will only get 480p. Ms is really milking people but some people see the ps3 as more expensive here ??

i wouldnt exactly say its a redesign, the slimline ps2 is a redesign, the GBA SP is one, and so is the lite...this..this is an upgrade, 6x bigger HDD and an added component(HDMi) what if i want to get a large 1080p set in the future? well then again my question should be, is HDMi better than VGA? if it is then that kinda sucks cuz i cant use HDMI.

i dislike wifi, id prefer hardlined net to wifi anyday, why should they risk including a built in HD-DVD drive, at its current standing its got a high risk of failure.

But it came out 1st (360) and they could care less about people like me who bought the premium on day one and all the others affected by this. That is why I will stick with sony and the ps3 because I know what I am getting. The ps1 and 2 served me well for years and even when the ps2 came out the ps1 still got AAA games. Also the ps2 was backward compatible so I could still keep my existing ps1 library. Ms killed off the xbox basically forcing us to buy a 360 with crappy backward compatibility or be stuck with a dead system after it launched last and was the most powerful. 

If this does not open peoples eyes here I don't know what will. Who know what's next a 360 with hd-dvd as standard and wi-fi ??

Seems like ms is trying to turn the 360 into a ps3 after the fact to me but I know I won't be buying anymore hardware from ms.

That's my point ms don't care they think the 360 is a pc and are selling upgrades later at a premium. It's clear that the 20 gig can't handle 720p video V for vendetta is over 6 gigs in size alone (you can see the size of the video in the marketplace).

So basically you have a high def video service that you can't really use effectively and ms says hey but now you can buy a 120 gig for only $199 !!

They also sell a hd-dvd player for $200 but when the new movies turn on the flag limiting the output of movies to 480i over analog cables it forces you to buy the new and improved 360 with hdmi standard for only $480.
